Saw them do this one or two times during the 2012 run.....Warren does a very admirable job with it! Check out the version Mule did at Mountain Jam that year. That was a great night!

Totally in agreement with Mr. Paul. Obviously we are all fans on this here board, and perhaps a little biased? But I was absolutely blown away by what I witnessed last night. Just a killer show/set list from start to finish. "It Makes No Difference" with horns?? "One Way Out" with Robert Randolph?? Amazing - just two highlights in a night chock full of them.

Also - by my watch we did not get out until past midnight, latest show of the run so far?

Ya know ,I read each night after the show descriptions of "epic" , " outstanding" , " classic " , " Unreal" , " one for the ages " . Everyone has a formula that quantifies their reason for describing the show as they do .
Disclaimer , I have not gone to a show in about 5 years . I just can't do it anymore as they have really become a greatest hits show . I love when Warren throws in " Into the Mystic " and other great covers ....I know others hate it as much as I love it .
I cannot stand the Juke horns ! To me , there's nothing ABB about them and they have no place in 99% of the songs . Last nights show seemed like a Juke Horns with special guest The Allman Brothers .They played on almost half the songs !
Again , everyone gets excited by hearing different songs and all it takes is to hear that one song ,your favorite song to make the concert experience "epic" or "amazing" for you . For me , If I never heard Desdemona , Rocking Horse , Stand Back and a Whipping Post Encore ever again, I'd be happy .
I'd much prefer Mtn Jam and Liz Reed to make my day with a little One Way Out and Revival to wrap things up .
One mans garbage is another mans gold . My 2cents are that most of these shows have been nothing special , then again , it's not like they're going to reinvent themselves at this point in their career , but please get up there on your own merits and not with the Juke Horns for half the show .

A greatest hits show?
Seriously?
My fourth show was last night and honestly, every night is different. I've been to a warren show, a Derek show, a warren and Derek show. One show you barely knew Gregg was there. Others he stood out and at one he even got his old ass up up and did an acoustic song or two.
I do think Derek has become a little bored and probably not feeling challenged anymore, but by no means does that reflect or effect his performances. He is still my favorite guitarist and he has been nothing short of amazing each show. I'm looking forward to seeing what my next two shows have to offer.

Very fun show, lots to grab onto and the big jam pieces delivered. In addition to the guests already listed (horns, RR and Jeff Pitchell), Yonrico Scott played Jaimoe's kit during "Same Thing." There was also a guest percussionist for that one whose name I didn't catch, but he played Marc's perc rig with Jaimoe!

I have been to every show... Between his performances Saturday and Tuesday I would like to welcome Mr. Gregg Allman back to Allman Brothers Band. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts... Setlist and Juke Horns aside, that was by far their best show as a band.

The individual who hasn't been to a show in 5 years because they feel the Brothers have become a "greatest hits" band, goes on to state their personal preference for not one, but four songs that many people would consider some of their best, most beloved songs (i.e. great hits). Don't get me wrong, I've been to so many shows, there have certainly been plenty of nights where I would have preferred to hear some of their "deep cuts" or less popular tunes (High Falls, Pegasus, Kind of Bird) rather than another version of Whipping Post or Dreams. However, there are a lot of fans for whom any one of these shows could be their very first ABB show and many of them would probably be very disappointed if they didn't get to hear a couple of the so-called greatest hits. All that being said, let's face it, we should all be thankful that we can still go to see and hear some of the most incredibly talented and passionate musicians ever assembled on one stage (and that includes all the various incarnations and permutations of band members from 1969 to the present line-up) play some of the most intricate, exciting and rocking live music being created today. Especially in this day and age of pre-packaged, over-produced and over-hyped musical dreck that most of the general public is being subjected to and consuming. If they only knew what they were missing.
God bless the ABB and March Musical Madness in NYC!
